What happens after R9 Rev Up?

When R9 Rev Up finishes and you’ve gotten your breath back, it’s time to decide whether you want to apply to take part in R9 Accelerator.

Ideally during the weekend you have found your people – you know exactly who you want to apply with and you have an awesome team name. If so, it’s just a matter of working together to submit an application by 7 February 2017.

If your R9 Rev Up team didn’t work out, but you’re still dead keen on applying you can:

Apply as an individual and hope that an applying team has a gap and is looking for someone with your particular set of mad skills, or

You can hustle to find a team in time to apply.

Whichever boat you’re in, the R9 Accelerator project team is here to help. We will be available to make your application as slick as possible or to help you find people to apply with.

The application process is competitive, a maximum of 10 teams will be selected to take part in R9 Accelerator 3+.
